back on Tallon Zek when I started back in 2000, I was struggling as a new player. I didn't really have any friends to play with or any equipment to get started (Barbarian Warrior). Eventually I caught a lucky break - some a$$hole ran an ice giant train on me and killed me. That doesn't sound very lucky, but the guy that did it felt really bad, and he went into permafrost and got me some large bronze pieces.
he told me about a place called Gfay - where the newb wood elfs start out, and mentioned it was the auction zone and constantly had hundreds of people in it bartering at all times. I wasn't happy with the bronze armor alone, the game was still really tough to solo in. I made my way to gfay to do some buying and selling.
I sold all of my bronze armor - 2pp per AC. while I did that, I kept an eye on low end items from people in a hurry to make a sale, or just in general what the items were going for. I bought and resold a couple of items I was comfortable taking the gamble on. the big money maker was the stein of moggok, easy to sell and people were churning out the quest to sell them. eventually I did enough buying/reselling to acquire a full set of crafted armor and a blade of xalgoz.
anyways, after I had geared up some and leveled up some in the area, I happened to be by a GM that was resolving an issue for a player near the kelethin bank. he went linkdead - I hadn't ever seen a GM go linkdead before.. being a PvP server, for shits and giggles, I decided to see if it would allow me to attack him.. sure enough, it let me attack him, and he wasn't hitting me back for any damage.
I pk'ed a GM in the middle of all the usual traders and people hanging out in Gfay .. started telling everyone about the armor and weapons he was wearing and what kind of stats/effects they had on em .. it was utterly hilarious. I don't think I ever saw someone else PK a GM on EQ live. I became extremely paranoid that I'd be banned and went into hiding.. he confronted me when he logged back in. all was good, though, he thought it was kind of funny himself, and he wasn't very upset about the #zone corpse run.
